Man, you were fast on this. Good job, Frank! I know he appreciates your help.
yes i absolutely do appreciate it. i look on ebay daily and other sites aswell. i am friends with mr jim and make several of his designs, he made a really good working knife. the style listed with nordic i had never seen before this is why i'm after one of his catologs. i had one many years ago but it burned in a house fire in 1985. so thanks to the both of you for your help and look forward to being a part of this site.

thanks,
regan
Reagan,

This is a great forum. Brad Hyde called an obscure knife from 1952 in 20 minutes.

These knife folks here follow Scott's friendly leadership.

In two weeks there's been a 10 percent increase in members.

That's a testimate to jj, bruce, captain jeff, brad and others.

It's a great place to visit, I just wish I could live here!!!! What neighbors.
frank,
i can see in just a few days that i,ve been involved with this site that success works in numbers. i search everyday for barbee knives and you found one that i didn't. i'm gonna lean on you guys all the time for things i'm looking for. i also try to find (with 0 success) old westinghouse yellow micarta and decent looking sambar stag scales.

god bless,
regan

ray,
i was going to send a picture of the knife to mr barbee's grandson who will probably buy it from you. but it's not available. i would love to have it, but it's a little out of my grasp. if you have not sold it and want me to send it to taylor, here is my email: pat71ss@cox.net
thanks,
regan
